Presence of politicians is the curse of Indian sports. It’s true up to some extinct as there are other ministers cum player like Navjot Singsidhu , Imran Khan etc in cricket who take care of sport issues. In my opinion the board of members of sport association or the organization should be headed by industrialist, the secretary should be a technical person and the international players or the senior players who really want to see their respective sports on top should select the committee.
Politicians should not be associated with sports as they know how to rule the country not the sports. They will not do justices as they will always put their dirty politics in games every time they are requested to say. The politicians or the ruling party will only advice or give their view keeping the opposition parties on mind. There is no benefit; if minister becomes a part of sports association the opposition party may raise objections if the ruling party will say something. Also a politician’s association with a sports body won’t result in any benefits for the game. If this happens then there will be a cold war between ruling party and opposition. If the politician becomes the member in sport association then they will put presser on good players or up coming players not to get selected in international games and will try to advice their own known players who gave them money to get selected even though they are not well prepared for international games.
Take Lalit Modi and its issues on IPL games. Did he do well? No he didn’t. More powers come with more responsibilities. Because of Lalit Modi the common man also suffered like the government did. The selling of high rates of tickets. Where the money went? In his pocket and the Team owners.
The politics in sport will move together always. There will be no change as our politician not moves their hands from sports as they know it produces more money after media. India will face the crisis of better future in sports every time.
